    302 Engine Wanted

    I'm looking for a 302 based engine to go in my RCR kit. Desired induction would be 8-stack type EFI, but I could live with 4-barrel and upgrade later.

    FORD GT Rocker Panel Stencil

    Anyone got the hook up on a paint stencil for the rocker panel? Looking for a stencil for the stripes and FORD GT, to mask and paint in white. Alternatively, dimensions (widths) of the stripes would benefit me as I can have a local graphics shop make the (negative) stencil for cheap. Thanks.

    EFI Drop in Kit

    I had recently viewed a hot rod show where an EFI retrofit system was being introduced. It was a complete assembly with pump, filter, return line, pressure line, electrics, etc all in one fairly slim drop in module. It all went into about a 4" hole as I recall.

    Door Latch Alternatives

    I've got the standard hot rod bear claw for door latches. Not bad, but the gap between the firewall and door is greater than I want it to be. My thought was to use a latch with an external (outside the door jam) latch vs. the bear claw. See pic. Does anyone know where I can get these? Thanks,

    Steve Jobs, Seriously?

    Thought I'd kick this off. But seriously "genius"...good, for sure, IPhone whatever... just because something is popular or has a cult following does not make it the "be all to end all" product. Hell, Obama is probably an Apple fan.

    Hiding Components

    RCR build, fairly straightforward. Plan to use ~400hp 302 with Inglese' and FAST XFI on top. There is plenty of room immediately aft of fuel cells to mount fuel system and electronic components (out of sight). There is also a bit of room aft of the cabin (behind seats) for components save for...
